    0 documents file print

    Thanks Berton,
    I predifine my printer as default.
    Then I order to print and what hapens is that the document enter into waiting list file to print in my device.
    Next, past few seconds disapears and the waiting list turns nothing to print.
    I catch the properties of the document to print before it disapear. But I get no clue of about.

    Thanks
